I struggled to find a way to type isotopes with the mass number as a superscript to the left of the symbol and the atomic number as a subscript  to the left of the symbol.  I'm not familiar with LaTeX, but I finally figured it out.  Here is how I entered the S-32 nuclide:

\(^{32}_{16}\)S

It works for new canvas quizzes.  I hope it helps other chemistry teachers.
